The Washington Nationals are 3-2 on the young season and they have the opportunity to grab their second series win of the young season against the Mets on Wednesday afternoon. The game starts at 1 pm and can be found on MASN.
The draw from this game is the pitching matchup. Stephen Strasburg is must see TV every time he takes the mound, and on Wednesday he matches up with Johan Santana. Santana has become somewhat of a forgotten man after a couple of injury riddled years, but he is back pitching for the Mets and he appears to be healthy. Here is a look at the lineup for Wednesday's game.
Nats today: Desmond, Espinosa, Zim, Werth 8, DeRosa 7, LaRoche, Nady 9, Flores 2, Strasburg. Vs. lefty, Werth plays center, LaRoche drops.

Xavier Nady gets the opportunity to start in right field for the Nationals and Jayson Werth will have to deal with the expansive centerfield. But Danny Espinosa is back in the lineup Wednesday after a day off on Tuesday.
